Summer Cold

Damn, two days off in a row. Not good. But this summer cold has knocked me on my butt. I got home from working my summer job today and planned to lay down for a little nap before I ran. Little, my arse. Three hours later, I awoke, and had to force myself not to go back to sleep.

Felt super groggy and my sinuses were a mess, so decided nixing today's run might be logical. I guess my body needed the rest. Granted, I did wake up early this morning (3am) and couldn't fall back asleep, but that was also cold related.

Good news is I only have to work a couple of hours tomorrow. Should have plenty of time and hopefully energy to do my speed workout. Weather looks nice also, with dryer air having moved in. I think I'll be fine as far as being okay enough from the cold to do the workout.

Also really looking forward to a long run this weekend. Speed is coming back very nicely on the shorter distances, but need to start translating that to the longer distances. I suspect that will come along pretty efficiently. Legs seem to be remembering the longer stuff, based on the mountain runs, but I've yet to test them on the roads, so we'll see.
